Recent results suggest Goodison has lost its fortress status and needs to re-apply.

yes but I have a feeling things are about to change. I feel both the players and the fans will be very buoyed by this week's AGM...it was very inspiring and optimism inducing. Goodison should be rocking this weekend!!

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

We'll win 3-1. Hopefully the Callum Wilson to Chelsea shouts have unsettled their squad.

Does not look like an exciting watch

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Score draw. Not good enough. Silva out.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Bournemouth deserve a good mauling at our hands for some of the gut punches they’ve dished out over the years. Another 6 goal battering would do.

Noticed Harry Charsley knocking about in a few of the pictures from training this week. Bench spot for him?

if wilson, king and fraser are all out it should be a stroll .... just like playing brighton without their only two good players in ryan and murray :s

We played a very weak Newcastle team and still messed it up

6 pointer this game.

If Fraser, King and Wilson are all out and we don't win I'm just going to give up on football.

If they're all out then 4/5 for the Everton win is a great bet.

0-4 (wilson hat trick).

 

[eamo]

Just play well and take our chances please. Simples.

Marco Silva's Bournemouth presser highlights:

Lets see what we can do this transfer window. We did well in the summer and if we get someone he must improve the squad.

If someone does come in it means another player has left.

I won't talk about the players we want in as it's disrespectful to other clubs but I have given my ideas to the board.

McCarthy leaving is not in our minds as we have 22 outfield players.

The decision for Vlasic to go was to improve somewhere then come back and fight. This was his thoughts also. We will see what happens in the future.

Playing Bournemouth will be tough. They attacked the market straight away and we have to be at our best to beat them.

Me and Moshiri talk everyday, we dont need an AGM to stay in contact (reply to Moshi being unhappy with our League placing).

We must do better this second half of the season. We must see more from our players and I've told them I demand more.

4 games in 10 days was tough in December. Against Leicester they pounced on our 1 mistake and we've not been able to convert our chances being made.

One month is not a season. We had a poor December but everyone was proud of us before that.

We need good results to give us the confidence to go on and play good football.

The table is tight. We need a good result.
